Abstract:
Excavations in the Castle Hill area of Cambridge have shed new light on its post-Roman occupation. Significant discoveries include the identification of Middle Saxon occupation including an execution cemetery, a possible Saxo-Norman minster church and a fourteenth-century hoard of 1,805 silver and nine gold coins. Elements of the Castle and some cemeteries were also identified and a Middle Saxon and Saxo-Norman pottery sequence defined. More generally ideas of the Middle Saxon to post-medieval development of this part of Cambridge, which have previously been largely based on documentary, topographic and cartographic sources, can now be reconsidered in the light of the archaeological evidence.
